Products Pipe Line

J. F. Maple

James F. Maple, dispatcher. Products Pipe Line, Fostoria, Ohio, has been promoted to pipeline supervisor in charge of the Cleveland-Canton Pipe Line and the Fostoria-Randolph Pipe Line from Creston Station to Randolph.

Jim Maple first came to work for Sohio as an operator at the Lima Station, Products Pipe Line, in November. 1989. A few months later he was sent to the Cleveland-Canton Line as a gauger. In April. 1946, following his return from military life, where he had served as an Air Force captain, he was appointed supervisor of the Cleveland-Canton Line.

New and more complex operations in the Cleveland-Canton Line have created additional responsibilities which did not exist during the period he first served in the supervisor's post in 1946. Prior to his appointment as dispatcher in the Products Pipe Line division office at Fostoria in late 1947, he toured the various divisions of the Transportation Department, demonstrating the use of pipeline maintenance and fire equipment.

Jim is a golf and fishing enthusiast, and an ardent baseball and football fan. His favorites are the Cleveland Indians and Ohio State University. He also expresses a partiality for blue-eyed blondes, namely, his wife, Helene, and two-year-old Nancy Jane.

Spare-time Efforts Add Many Cubic Feet to Living Space

By MARCELLA BORDEN

That popular song, "It's So Nice to Have a Man Around the House," is probably sung often in the home of William Davis, senior geologist for Sohio Petroleum, Evansville.

Fifteen years ago he took up woodworking as a hobby and now, to hear his family tell it, there's nothing along those lines he can't do to add to their comfort.

Bill started sawing and hammering in high school. Studies at Iowa State University, followed by four years in the U.S. Army Air Corps, interrupted him, but he lost no time picking up his tools again when those years passed.

Later on he and his wife, Marcia, and their two children — Linda, five, and Scott, two — moved to Evansville from Mt. Vernon. One look at the basement of their new home, and Bill decided the Davises needed a recreation room.

For his efforts, at the end of six months' spare time, he had a room 24 feet by 12 feet, with knotty pine walls and a ceiling of celotex blocks. In it's a large storage closet; built-in shelves, for books and knick-knacks: and a "hide-away" nook, where Marcia sews.

Marcia helped Bill decorate the room by making drapes and slipcovers and painting the furniture. She even managed to purchase a player piano from a farmer nearby.

One of Bill's most cherished achievements, though, is a walnut writing desk. The glass top he put on it covers a display of butterflies in a bed of milkweed fiber. He also collects minerals and fossils.

"But my second love," he adds, "is fishing. Right now it's time for me to put away my hammer for a rod and reel."

Wins Top Prize

By LEE PEKAR

CLEVELAND-A radar scanning tower, built in one week by 11-year-old Winfred "Scotty" Smith, son of Helen Smith, Home Office Payroll, topped 10,000 entries in the A. C. Gilbert Erector Company's recent nationwide contest, featuring original construction ideas.

Scotty's prize, a $700-Admiral combination radio, television, and phonograph set, was presented to him June 14 at Tremont School, where he is in the fifth grade.

A Cub Scout and a loyal Indians' fan, Scotty decided to build the radar tower after he and his dad saw one on a business trip.

Sohio Reporters On Six Stations With New Program

CLEVELAND - Extension of the Sohio Reporter, Sohio's daily ten-minute radio news programs, to include six Ohio radio stations, and a change in program technique were both made effective May 29, according to an announcement by Henry J. Cole-man, advertising manager.

Programs from Cleveland All Sohio Reporter programs, consisting of 11 newscasts daily, now originate in Cleveland, and are now using two news editors instead of one. Each news editor delivers part of the newscast.

The new program will concentrate on national and Ohio news of state-wide interest. In addition to the two news editors heard regularly, pick-ups from originating points other than Cleveland will be made. Where direct line pick-ups are not possible, wire recordings will be used. On any one program as many as four or five different voices may be heard.

Three Sign For Broadcasts

Dallas DeWeese, present Sohio reporter on WLW, Cincinnati, and Bill Tomkin, former radio newsman at Youngstown and Houston, have been selected as regular Sohio Reporters for the new program. Tom Field of WTAM, Cleveland, will do feature stories and make the commercial announcements.

In this, the 11th continuous year in which Sohio has provided a radio news service throughout Ohio, Sohio Re-porter broadcasts may be heard on WTAM, Cleveland; WBBW, Youngstown; YVTOL, Toledo; WCOL, Columbus; W M A N , Mansfield; and WLW, Cincinnati.

Voters Approve EMBA Amendments

(Continued from Page 1, Col. 4)

Here members voted 5,032 for. 781 against, and 38 did not vote.

These newly approved amendments to EMBA's constitution and by-laws became effective June 1.

Under the new amendment on rates EMBA has increased its maximum daily benefits from $3.66 to $4.75, and the maximum weekly benefit from $25.64 to $33.27. Formerly benefits were computed on a basis of 66 2/3 per cent of a member's base earnings up to $2,000 per year. Helping to bring benefits in line with today's cost of living, the membership vote has set this rate at 86-1/2 per cent of a member's base earnings up to $2,000 per year.

The increased scale of benefits does not affect the total amount received by a member on sick leave with pay, but it does increase the amount of benefits granted a member on leave without pay.

Approval of the amendment to include regular Sohio employees residing outside of the United States now makes all Canadian personnel who wish to participate eligible for EMBA membership.

Sponsorship of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan authorized by this election will take place as early as possible, according to Mr. Muddimer. "Methods, forms, contacts, and procedures must first be determined," he stated, "and plans for participation will be announced as soon as these are completed."
